SPEECXFCATION forming part of Letters Patent No. "783,899, dated February 28, 1905.

Application filed June 6, 1904. Serial No. 211,241.

Be it known that l, VVILLIMI H. SonUYLnn, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Chicago, in the county of @ook and State of illinois, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Printers Galleys, of which the following is a description.

My invention belongs to that well-known class of devices known as printersgalleys, to which the set type are transferred from the composing-stick or otherwise in making up the form or taking it down. It is often used in takingI a proof of the set matter.

The object of my improvement is to produce a galley which shall be strong' and durable in its construction and shall not by use be broken or easily warped or sprung out of its proper form.

To this end my invention consists in the novel construction, arrangement, and combination of parts herein shown and described, and more particularly pointed out in the claims.

In 'the drawings, wherein like reference characters :indicate like or corresponding parts, Figure l is a perspective view showingI a complete galley embodying my iimprove'- nient. Fig. 2 is a partial side elevation with parts broken away and in which the wall and bottom are slightly separated to more clearly show the construction. Fig. 3 is a modified form ofthe wall with parts broken away to show the construction, and Fig. 4 is a sectional view illustrating the manner in which the parts are lirmly locked together.

ln the drawings, 1 represents the bottom of the galley, provided with a plurality of apertures 2, arranged about the margin on the line where the walls will be located.

3 represents the wall of the galley, which is formed of a single bar, either by casting,

forging, or otherwise, and provided with a plu-` rality of lugs 4, projecting from one edge of the wall and adapted to be seated in the apertures 2. The lugs are of sufiicient length and the wall is of such material that when the bottom is suitably positioned the lugs may be headed or riveted down thereupon, firmly binding the parts together. ln the preferred l construction the sido walls are integral, as inl dicated, preventing the breaking of the walls at the angles, and the lugs 4 are also formed integral with the wall.

.ln operation I have used brass for the material in making up the galley, and the walls 3 have been cast, the lugs being cast thereupon at the same time. ln construction, also, the apertures 2 are preferably eountersunk to receive the head of the rivet and form a flush Iinish on the under surface of the bottom.

Fig. 3 shows a modification in which threaded holes are tapped out in the edge of the walls, as at 5, and the lugs are screw-threadinl to iit therein, as at 6. Obviously this would be the more expensive method of forming the galley, and at the same time the union between the wall and the bottom would not be as lirm as though the lugs were formed 'integral with the walls. It is obvious that if preferred the walls 3 may be formed to inclose only three sides thereof, as shown in the drawings.

ln practice I have found this form of galley very strong and durable and particularly adapted to the heavy work for which it is intended.`

it is well known that as soon as a galley gets out of line or is twisted it is not suitable for the purpose for which it is intended. My invention is particularly adapted to prevent this, as well as to prevent the breaking apart of the walls at the angles. My galley is formed of two parts firmly locked together, the integral wall greatly strengthening the entire structure.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A. printers galley eomlnising' a bottom plate provided with marginal perforations, in combination with inclosing walls comprising an integral bar of suitable form provided with lugs projecting from one of its edges registering with and positioned in the perforations in said bottom plate and headed down thereupon, whereby the two are firmly secured together.

2. A 4.printes galley comprising' a bottom plate provided with marginal perfmations, in

combina-tion with inclosing walls Comprising my naine in the presence of two subscribing an integral bar of Suitable form provided with witnesses.

integral lugs projecting from one of its edges and located in said marginal perfrations in WILLIAM H' bL'HUYLER 5 said bottom plete and headed down thereupon, Witnesses:

whereby the two are firmly secured together. CHARLES I. COBB,

In testimony whereol I have hereunto signed l BURTON U. HILLS.
